V60 Glass Coffee Dripper, Size 02, Black

Hario claims that the design of it's coffee drippers sets it apart from the competitors - and that the raised helical grooves combined and the larger opening at the bottom result in a better cup. Now, I am not an coffee engineer ;-), and I am not going to attempt to explain how this may or may not result in a better cup - but I will say that the Hario V60 has become my go to pour over dripper, and I have since given my others away! I currently own the V60 in both the 02 (one glass, one platic) and 01 (palstic only) sizes - I use the 01 and 02 in plastic for my backpacking trips, as it is always nice to have good coffee on the trail, and the plastic versions only weigh 2 ounces and are a lightweight method to make superb coffee in the backcountry! ALl you need other the dripper is a light paper filter - along with some coffee (pre-ground of course). I use the glass version at home. I like pour over as an option when I want to be able to choose how much coffee I want instead of having to make full pot, a full press, or something different than a shot of espresso. As most know, good coffee is more about the process of how you make it - along with using fresh ground coffee, and brewing at the right temperature for the right amount of time - there is a lot to consider and pay attention to if you are looking for the best cup - but if you take the time to learn it and experiment, you will be rewarded. Definitely take the time to search / research how others are making their coffee to supplement your process - you will find what works the best for you, and when you get better coffee, it will only serve to reproduce that cup over and over again. It is kind of fun! Some tips to using the Hario: - Make sure and pre-wet the filter inside the cone before putting your ground coffee in. I use hot / boiling water with my cup underneath - this serves many purposes - first it pre-heats the cup. Second, it forms the filter to the dripper. Third, it takes any paper taste out of the filter. - Grind your coffee on the finer side of the drip range - if it is too coarse, the larger hole will result in the coffee draining too quickly through the dripper, and not interacting with the grounds long enough. Experiement, and when you achieve a slow drip, and the taste is not too bitter or sour, you have nailed the grind. - Pre-infuse your grinds before brewing. What I do is first make a small divot / hole gently in the middle of your grounds after pouring them in the dripper. Pour enough water over your grounds to soak the coffee,just to the point where it begins to drip - then stop pouring and wait 30-60 seconds. For me, if I am making 14 oz of finished coffee as my target, I preinfuse with about 2 oz of water. - Pour SLOWLY, and do it in two or three phases. I pour about 4-5 oz of water in slowly, let it drip through, and then do it again. After two - three passes, I am done. I never pour the entire contents of my water in all at the same time. - Try to pour water in that is between 195 and 205 degrees - this range is the optimal temperature range for extracting / brewing coffee. Google SCAA or optimal brewing temp for coffee for more details. I utilize a Bonavita variable temperature kettle for my process, it makes keeping the water in the right range very easy. - Some of the ratios I use is 27 grams of coffee for 14oz of finished product, or 19 grams for 10 oz finished product. Try to drink the coffee in the first 10-15 minutes - coffee always tastes the best when it does not sit for any length of time.... I would recommend the Hario V60 to anyone looking at trying pour over - it is cheap, has a proven design, is easy to use, easy to clean up, and makes one great cup of coffee. Thanks for reading!

The most popular Hario V60 is a plastic one here on Amazon. One of the variations on that list is for ceramic one. In the end, I bought this glass one because the pieces come apart so I can clean it better every so often. I thought the "flower" shape of the cup cover was just a for aesthetics. Actually, the shape allows a spoon to be placed in the cup while the coffee is being made. It really helps when I want condensed milk in my coffee and want the residual milk to melt off my spoon. I wish my coffee phin would do that. Great design, quality materials, and delicious coffee. I even use generic cone filters instead of the Hario ones. Works great and the coffee tastes good. Admiral McRaven of the US Navy once said to make your bed every morning. It gives you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another and another throughout the day. My bed is made only once a week when I change out the sheets, but my coffee in the morning makes me ready for the day, everyday. The seconds in between blooming and pulses is the first thing I have to concentrate on in the morning. Much better than pressing the brew button on a machine and playing with my phone.

I love this. Now coffee making is easy for me. I purchased this after reading an article where the actor Morgan Spector wrote about what he couldn't live without. And he was so right. This is transportable and convenient. Very little clean up and more convenient than other drip coffees. My espresso machine was making me sick, and the stove top coffee option was tedious and messy and required a lot of cleaning. This is affordable, makes lovely coffee, easy to use, hygienic and efficient. Highly recommend.

OMG!!! I have been trying for YEARS to brew a good cup of coffee at home. Nothing would ever match the strong flavor of a cup of drip coffee bought at Starbucks or Peets.... I've tried ALOT of single cup coffee makers over the years... None produced a satisfying cup of coffee. I recently purchased a Hamilton Beach 1 cup coffee maker. Nice design, but mediocre coffee. But... When reading the reviews for the Hamilton Beach maker, someone had a similar lackluster experience and recommended a Hario. I just got it today and made my first cup. Absolutely DELICIOUS... Using about as much coffee in the Hario as you would use in a Kuerig K-cup (~0.5 ounces), actually produces a too strong cup of coffee, and I like strong coffee.. SUPER easy to brew. Prep wasn't too bad: <> bring a cup of water to a boil in the microwave <> put the Hario funnel on top of your coffee cup <> insert the 01 paper filter <> add ground coffee <> using a swirling motion pour just enough hot water over the grounds to get them all wet. <> wait 30 seconds, then continue to add water, just never let the water level in the paper cone get higher than the grounds. I used the pour-wait, pour-wait technique rather than trying to keep a continuous light stream of water into the cup. This gradual soak thru of the added water naturally paces your water pouring. Adding water about every 15seconds worked well. Again, as the water is poured with the swirl pattern, just make sure the water level does not go higher than the level of the grounds. After boiling the water the whole brewing process takes about 2-3 minutes. This is a acceptable ritual for such GREAT cup of coffee... HIGHLY recommend. Cleanup is super easy too. No messy coffee grounds to deal with, they all go out with the filter... (and best yet, VERY "green" waste.) Who would ever of thought the Japanese could nail coffee brewing...

Great dripper. I paid extra to get this one which was $16 something as opposed to the new 2014 version which I saw here for about $11. It seemed from the reviews that the new model is thinner glass. I do not know if that is true or not, but what I do know is that I like this one. The glass is a good thickness. Great quality. I really like the look and feel, and the coffee it makes. I previously had a plastic Malita (I also have an Aeropress). The Malita was a good "starter" for me since it was cheap and the hole in the dripper helps regulate flow rate. However, I did not like the plastic "feel" and I never liked the flat bottomed filters. But, it made good coffee, and as for what it cost the Malita was worth it. However, this glass Hario makes better coffee (for me). You have to be a little more careful with the pour, but not much. If you don't have a goose-neck kettle, move on... you have to have a goose-neck kettle to properly pour a pour though like the Hario. The look and feel of the Hario is very premium. Also, make sure you do the "filter wash" step. If not for the filter wash, then for the pre-heat. Since this is glass it has some heat capacity, and needs to be pre-warmed. I use about 40-70 ml of hot water to "wash" the filter. That heats the glass nicely, and the mug. Just don't for get to through this water out before you start your brew. I would definitely recommend this product. If something happens to mine, i will buy this one again. PS I use the Hario 02 brown paper filters. I like them much better than the flat bottom filters required for the Malita. Plus they are a little thinner, and as another reviewer mentioned I thin they let a little more of the natural coffee oils through.

I love coffee, but I confess - my primary interest in this is for yogurt. I searched reviews though, and could not find anything here or on the web that indicated if this would work well. I thought others might like to know how it worked out. We love our cold brew. As cold brew addicts we weren't searching for a replacement. We make our own yogurt though, and using cheese cloth or sprout bags are annoying ways to separate the yogurt from it's whey. Enter this little beauty and the "Coffee Sock". Together they are easy to use and produce beautiful results. In less than 2hrs you will have creamy, thick yogurt that puts store bought varieties to shame. You can choose your texture by checking it every 15 minutes or so after the first hour. If you want a cream cheese substitute, let it go overnight. The attached video shows the start of a YouTube video I'm putting together, to help others. This is so much simpler than the general advice out there. These set up and clean up much faster and easier. They also create a much clearer whey. Although we still love our cold brew, the fact that this has more than one use means more to love about this product. When we want hot coffee this makes a wonderful coffee. The cloth allows a lot of the oils to remain in the finished coffee; not as much as the french press, but it's a good coffee. We love anything that can multitask.

this is grreat, i have bought 4 or 5 of these as gifts for those who do not want to use coffee makers or a french press. great coffee comes from this , i highly recommend this to anyone who wants great coffee but does not want to deal with plastics, rubber tubes, etc. very clean. I have 2 of these and am giving these out as gifts. i use one at the office heating water in the microwave. I can use organic coffee in this. i a, m very pleased that i found this and i highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from the obvious, plastic. i use the cone filters that you can buy at the market and these work great and they're cheap. my hus band said after making coffee in one of these "i don't think i need food, the coffee that comes from this is that good". only the glass touches the coffee. fits conveniently over a thermos or a mug. saves time and money. we use the orgnic dark roast coffee and it makes an unbelievable tasty cup of coffee. highly recommend this

if you don't want plastic BPA or other estrogen disruptors in your coffee...and who does, this is great and inexpensive. ONLY reason i gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was that it is relatively thin glass for a careless bachelor like myself, and takes special handling not to break with normal bachelor use. i am incapable of special handling, so i perhaps unfairly downgraded by a star. i broke mine, and now use a big thick pyrex 16oz measuring cop as a coffee press, then strain my coffee. it's the only thing i don't break, tho i've even broken one of my pyrex cups. so an alert that my star downgrade is arguable...however, the product is xlnt otherwise.
